Bea Arthur is dead.
Breaking news.

According to a family spokesman, Arthur died early on the morning of April 25th, 2009 apparently due to complications brought on by cancer.

Re: Bea Arthur is dead.
When Estelle Getty passed away last year, none of the other Golden Girls went to her funeral. I wonder if whoever is left will attend Bea's?

Yeah, I remember all the rumors going around as to how Bea was really a man in drag!

First remember her from doing that classic episode of ALL IN THE FAMILY in the first or second season. She really knew how to talk back to Archie!

I'll never forget her classy part in The Star Wars Holiday Special.

That's a real shame. She seemed like an interesting lady with fantastic comedic timing and some very significant contributions to the entertainment world. For my money, Golden Girls may be the best television comedy ever, if not the best show period.

I'm sorry to see her go, but at 86 she had a good run.
